(a)
Interpretation:
The appearance of the high resolution 13C spectrum of methyl formate when the protons are not decoupled should be predicted.
Concept introduction:
13C isotope of carbon has low
(b)
Interpretation:
The appearance of the high resolution 13C spectrum of acetaldehyde when the protons are not decoupled should be predicted.
Concept introduction:
13C isotope of carbon has low natural abundance. 12C is the most abundant isotope in nature. But it is NMR inactive because the spin quantum number is zero. Since 13C is less likely to find in nature there is a very low probability of finding two 13C nuclei which are close to each other. So there is no observable spin-spin coupling between adjacent carbons in 13C NMR spectra. But there are 13C and 1H coupling which leads to large number of splitting patterns in the spectrum. To obtain simplified 13C spectrum scientists use a method called broadband decoupling. This technique avoids the C-H coupling signal, so that all carbon signals appear as singlets.

- What is the EPR resonance frequency in a magnetic field for which the NMR frequency for 1H nuclei (protons) is 500 MHz? Express your answer in gigahertz.arrow_forwardUse the information provided to deduce the formula and structure of the following molecules.arrow_forwardCalculate the frequency separation of the nuclear spin levels of a 13C nucleus in a magnetic field of 15.9 T given that the magnetogyric ratio is 6.73 × 107 T-1 s-1.Ans = ______ MHz. (Note: because the magnetogyric ratio of 13C nucleus is only about 1/4th of that of a proton, the frequency of resonance is also only about 1/4th of the proton resonance frequency in the same instrument.arrow_forward
- Predict the multiplet you would expect for coupling of protons to two inequivalent spin-1 nuclei.arrow_forwardA radical containing three inequivalent protons with hyperfine coupling constants 2.11 mT, 2.87 mT, and 2.89 mT gives a spectrum centred on 332.8 mT. At what fields do the hyperfine lines occur and what are their relative intensities?arrow_forwardUsing a 60 MHz spectrometer, a chemist observes the following peak: doublet, J = 7 Hz, at 4.00 ppm What would be the coupling constant of this peak (in Hz) as measured by a 300 MHz spectrometer? INCLUDE UNITS!arrow_forward

What is the physical basis ("physical basis" refers to the specific molecular, nuclei, electron, magnetic etc. interactions that are the actual source of the effect) for why the chemical shift difference, ie the frequency difference delta V, between peaks is on the order of magnitude of 10^-6, that of the absolute value of the frequencies involved?arrow_forwardGiven C6H12O2 chemical formula. chemical shift , intergration, multiplicity and interpretation needed.arrow_forwardCOSY is one of 2D spectras which are widely used for the structure determination of proteins with a mass of up to 10 kD. What gives rise to cross signals in a COSY experiment?arrow_forward
- Absorption bands in the region of 1600-1700 cm-1 are often used for quantification of caffeine. What does the bands in this region refer to?arrow_forwardA radical containing two inequivalent protons with hyperfine coupling constants 2.0 mT and 2.6 mT gives a spectrum centred on 332.5 mT. At what fields do the hyperfine lines occur and what are their relative intensities?arrow_forward5.
